Nationals Sponsors Announced!!

in Announcements, Recent News by Katie Green Leave a comment

The sponsorship list for the US Phillips 66 Masters National Championships keeps on growing. In keeping with the Green Mountain State theme Vermont Flannel, Darn Tough Socks, and the Vermont Orthopedic Clinic (VOC) have signed up in support of the event.

Vermont Flannel will make sure racers stay toasty warm with the donation of their top of the line scarves for all class medalists in the Championship SG race. Just to be sure no one is left out, they have provided three full sized fleece blankets to be raffled off to lucky winners at the Wednesday night welcome and awards party. Discount purchases will be available at the party – maybe something soft and fuzzy for Valentine’s Day is in order. In addition, they will be offering a 10% discount to all masters racers interested in making a purchase. Go to vermontflannel.com pick out any object and in checking out enter the code “skicomfy.

Vermont’s Darn Tough Socks will be stuffing the podium winners’ stockings for the Super Combined event on Thursday evening. Well tested in Vermont’s winter weather, Darn Tough is known for their ski-specific socks, as well as those covering a wide range of outdoor activities.

A long supporter of masters ski racing, the Vermont Orthopedic Clinic is once again stepping up for the National Championships. Known as the “go to” clinic in the East for all those with creaky, well-worn joints, the VOC has generously helped out with a wide range of competitive skiing events over the years.

Plans are also getting finalized for a craft beer tasting session at Thursday evening’s awards, and a craft distillery taste-fest on Friday evening.

3rd Annual Battle of the Beer Leagues

in Announcements, Race Overview, Recent News by Katie Green Leave a comment

Don’t miss out on your chance for glory, pride and GOOD BEER!!  

The Ragged Beer League Challenge begins on Sunday, February 5th at 10am at the NEMS GS at Ragged Mountain.  It’s $55 to enter and that includes a ticket.  Last year’s fierce competitors included teams from Wachusett, Loon, Pats Peak, Gunstock, Nashoba Valley, & Waterville. Don’t let your beer league go unrepresented!  

The party follows, 45 minutes after the race, upstairs in Elmwood Lodge with a pizza and prizes!!

         The Rules are:

  •  Everyone forms teams of six (6), any gender or age mix, it doesn’t matter.
  • We run the race as normal.
  • Men’s overall finish list is broken into four quarters (A, B, C, D) and ladies list is broken into halves (A, B).
  • Each of the quarters and halves is scored with old World Cup scoring (A divisions 25, 20, 15, 12 etc, and the rest 20, 15, 12, 10 etc) and all finishers points added up for the team they are on.  So…. if you had six racers in a field of say 60 men and 12 women and your men finished  2nd,  16th,  24th, and 31st and your women finished 5th and 7th you would probably have the winning team.   That would equal  20+ 20+6+20 + 10+20= 96.

 

Do you think you can create a winning team?  Bring it!
